No secrets shall be left uncovered except those you wish to withhold yourself. After all, “Lie or Die,” or so it goes. We hope your wagging tongue is ready - one way or another.
How To Reach Moonlight Town
Your journey begins from theCenter of Venigni Worksafter you defeat Fuoco, the King’s Flame.
We recommendthat before you carry on to Moonlight Town that you:
We also recommendupgrading the Flambergefor increased effectiveness. This arm will be a huge boon for the upcoming trials.
From the Center of Venigni Works Stargazer,go through the exit doorto a ladder that takes you down a mining shaft. In the tunnel below, venture toward the red pipe andgrab the Fire Canisterfrom the puppet sitting on the ground.
On the other side of the red pipe, you’ll find a small, marshy area. There are a few new enemies here. Namely:miner puppets.
These puppets arehardly differentfrom their normal counterparts, so dispatch them as normal.
Head toward the mine shaft, butturn around just as you pass the mining cart at the entrance. Aminer puppet is sitting on the groundto ambush you from behind.
Once that puppet is defeated, tread carefully. You’ll want toroll through the standard boxeshere andnot the barrelswith the red-orange light on them; these barrels explode.
When you see the second barrel ahead,slow downand approach cautiously. Apitchfork puppet will charge on the right sideand cause it to explode.
Once the fire has abated enough, defeat both it and theminer puppet hiding behind itin the alcove to the right.
Grab theGemini’s Iron Protection from the mine cartas you continue down the mine shaft.
In the next, large area,go right and past the ladderto find a minerpuppet hiding around the corner on the left.Defeat it, and move forward to prompt the Thermite-throwing puppet ahead to throw its item.
Once thrown,dash across the wooden bridgeto fight this puppet.
Beware of a second Thermite-throwing puppet above you at the top of the ladder.
Climb the ladderand defeat all three enemies in this area (a miner, a pitchfork puppet, and the Thermite-thrower).
Open the chest for aBig Pipe Wrench weapon, a Motivity-based weapon (B).
Go down the ladder and to the middle of the bridgeyou dashed across earlier. Wait until a puppet below walks within range anddrop-attackit.
Face the entrance to this area (ignore the wooden board tunnel for now) and notice agroup of barrels beside a lighton the right.
There is one miner sitting on the ground beside the barrels and another patrolling nearby. Defeat them both and take theHidden Moonstone sitting behind the barrels.
Now, cautiously proceed to theboarded-up tunnelon the opposite side of the room. As you near, apitchfork puppet will charge through, sostand to the side.
After defeating the puppet,pick up the Vivid Ergo Fragmenton the ground in front of the tunnel and theDark moon Moonstone of the Covenant at the end of the tunnel.
The Dark Moon Moonstone of the Covenant is a special upgrade material for boss-weapons. You do not yet have access to those weapons, so you’ll need to wait to use this item.
As you leave the tunnel,turn leftand begin to climb the path up the mineshaft. However, you’ll encounter afire minibosspatrolling this path.
Bait the miniboss downinto the larger area to defeat it and take theCarrier’s Amulet(which increases your maximum equip load).
Now with the mineshaft safe and secure,run to the very topwhere you’ll see aStargazer for Moonlight Town.
Return to Hotel Krat at this time, if needed, for upgrades.
We recommend that, if you have not already, that you return to Venigni Works anddefeat the boss, Survivor. His gesture is needed for the end of this area if you intend to Lie or avoid a boss fight.
Moonlight Town: How To Take The Lift And Reach The Path Of Misery
In Moonlight Town’s first area, there are a number ofpuppets guarding the wellin the center of town. Two of them are pitchfork puppets hiding behind wooden walls in the furthest north and east buildings.
OneThermite-wielding puppetwith a throwing arm any baseball recruiter would die for isstanding on the furthest north building.We recommend dashing across this well area and climbing the stairs on the right of the building to reach anddefeat this puppet first.
After the area is cleared, you cangrab:
You should notice awooden bridgeleading away from this area, butdo not cross it. It is a fall trap.
Instead,go into the home on the west sideof the area (left building when looking into town from the Stargazer entrance) with a pitchfork puppet patrolling inside. After defeating it,take the back doorto a narrow ledge.
Go leftto the edge where an Attribute Resistance Ampoule is waiting.
Look out for the pitchfork puppet that is hanging on the ledge off to the right waiting to backstab you.
Jump downto the lit barrel below and then again into the swampy area.
There are no enemies in this area, so you’ll be able togather:
Crescent Moonstones are an upgraded version of the Hidden Moonstone. They will increase a weapon from +3 to +6.
From the swampy area,take the ladder upinto a new part of town. You should see a puppet beside a building to your left.
Anotherpitchfork puppet is hiding in the corner of the building to your left.Take out both puppets here and then the puppet guarding the bridge across the street.
Go up the stairsand further into town. Thebuilding on the left side of townis atrapped location with valuable goods.
As you near it, ensure you haveequipped Sawtoothed Blades.Fire them at the puppet in the middle of the central room without entering the building.
Bait any puppets you canoutside the building and defeat them. Two of them will throw Thermite, so tread with caution.
As you enter the building, agate will rise behind you and trap you in.
Abreakable wooden wall off to the right hides two puppets(one pitchfork) behind it. They will not charge through, however, until you approach the wall and the Star Fragment in front of it. Therefore, we only recommend approaching them when you’re prepared.
On the left side of the building, a chest containing aWorkshop Union Standard Corrosion Resistance Convertercan be found.
Thelever to open the way outof this building isthrough the wallwhere the pitchfork puppets charge through. Go through and turn right to see a Sawblade sitting beside the lever.
Outside, go back to the main path and up the set of stairs to the left. In thegraveyard left of the path (and slightly behind you)and at the top of these steps is aDim Ergo Fragment.
With this item taken, there is only one more obstacle:The Atoned.
At the cable cart at the dead end of the path is a woman known as the Atoned.Speak with her,and you will have two choices:
The first option is only available and believable if you have the Stalker’s Promise gesture from the Survivor at Venigni Works. You can alternatively use this gesture in front of the Atoned without speaking with her to pass safely.
If youLie to her, she’ll let youpass without issueand give you the Cable Railway Key.
If youdo nothingor try to pass without having defeated Survivor, you will have tofight and kill The Atoned.
Killing the Atoned is the only way to get her mask; although, this is the only added benefit of killing her and is entirely aesthetic.
How To Defeat The Atoned (Optional)
The Atoned, like all other human enemies up to this point, ishighly aggressiveand does not quite suffer the same drawbacks of electricity that puppets do. Like Survivor and Mad Donkey, Atonedleaves herself open to backstabsfreely.
Where Atoned deviates is in her ability tolay status effects on you.For every powerful strike she makes, she will significantlyraise your Decay levels.
Decay is a status effect that wears down the durability of your equipped weapon. It is relieved with Attribute Resistance Ampoules.
To get the best of Atoned, there aretwo moves to look out for:
When you’re a distance away from Atoned, she walks slowly toward you. This gives you an opportunity tothrow items like Sawblades(we recommend saving your Thermite for St. Frangelico’s). Butdon’t backpedal.When you back up, Atoned is known to lunge forward.
It is this lunge that leaves an opening for you tododge roll toward her.Dodging forward, you’ll be in a position tobackstab her.
Similarly, when Atoned makes a Fury Attack, she will take a few moments after to catch her breath. Keep your distance while she Fury Attacks and then punish her recharging.
As long as youkeep on the aggressiveand don’t let her health regenerate, you should manage her within a few tries.

The Path Of Misery: How To Reach St. Frangelico’s Cathedral
After a lengthy cutscene in the cable car, you’ll reach the Path of Misery. The Stargazer is along the path ahead and to the right.
Shortly after passing the Stargazer, you’ll find yourfirst plagued enemy: a carcass.
These enemies areswift and loud,but don’t let them get under your skin. They’reeasily staggerable, weak, and vulnerable to Fire damage.
As you enter the town ahead, grab theHidden Moonstone in the house to the right.Then,go around the home, staying to the right of the path to find another carcass.
Behind this carcass, notice awall of crates and barrels. Roll through them to reveal ahidden path.
Following the hidden path, there are several carcasses near and around the bridge. This includes onebehind crates to the leftand one hanging on theother side of the bridge upon the railing to your left.
After all are defeated, go to the nearby shore andclimb the small hillup toward the small bridge to kill one more carcass.
At this point, you can return to the other side of town to take out the remaining two carcasses and retrieve theVenigni’s Urgent Repair Tool(in the nearby house) andRadiant Ergo Fragment(on the bridge).
On the far side of the bridge you haven’t yet explored and through a large wooden door, Gemini will begin talking about the carcasses.
These carcasses can be found aheadhiding behind a stack of cratesnear a lit barrel while a second patrols the area and a third hidesbehind the cart.
ASawtoothed Wheelis sitting behind the crates with one of the carcasses.
Through the door into a mausoleum, you’ll reach asafe areato rest and manage your equipment before making the final trek to the chapel.
AWoman’s Prayerand aFire Abrasivecan be found in this first room.
Where To Find Giangio: Mausoleum Detour
From the mausoleum safe room,face the angel statue and take the door to your left.
There are no enemies on this path, sofollow it all the way downto find Giangio standing at the angel statue altar.
You can choose toaccept or deny his questto find a cure for his affliction. Accepting will reward you “Guillaume’s Ballad.” His quest is a long one and innatelytied to thequest to cure Antoniain Hotel Krat.
Behind the angel statue, you can find a chest with theBelford Break Cartridge.
How To Enter St. Frangelico Cathedral’s Chapel - Continued
From the mausoleum saferoom,take the room directly across from the angel statue(where you found the Woman’s Prayer).
This path will lead you to a pair of grand doors. Open them to reveal thebridge to St. Frangelico Cathedral’s central chapel.
The bridge is currently under assault from carcasses.
It’s best tolet them continue attacking each otherfrom a distance until only one remains. This will most likely bea strong carcass.
He’shardly a miniboss,but he is more powerful than your standard enemy and can deal significant damage if hit.Tread with caution.
This is a good time to use your Flamberge and Flame Grindstone. This enemy is very weak to Fire damage.
After defeating him,proceed into the chapel,grabbing theAttribute Purification Ampouleon the way, where you’ll be able toclaim the Chapel Stargazerand face the Cathedral dungeon.
Your adventure into the hells of Krat has only just begun.
